Dear Friend,
"Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive are the warmth and affection we give. It is through giving warmth and affection, through being genuinely concerned for others—in other words, through compassion—that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness. For this reason, loving is of even greater importance than being loved.
~ Dalai Lama

The greatest Giver of all is God, Source, Spirit - that Highest Power that is everywhere present. It gives Itself completely always, and yet, it is never fully absorbed, it never 'runs out' as It gives. There is always more It gives, without beginning, without end. This Giver is in me, gives through me, and expresses as the gift that I am; the gifts that I bring. This is so for everyone and every thing, everywhere. As I give, there is always more to give of myself, my kindness, my compassion - a smile, a silent hug, or just the gift of being present with a friend or a stranger without feeling the need to fix, or fade, correct, or dispute. It is in this giving, in this fully being present in the now-moment, that I feel happy and fulfilled. I am so grateful for all of this, that I simply allow it to be so. I let it go, and let is be. AND SO IT IS!!
